The dark line today
The core logic driving today’s market boils down to two words: compute-power faith. AMD breaks $1T, Intel is up 12%, Nvidia’s CFO warns that HBM shortages will last until 2030, and Alibaba Cloud’s summit showcases a 100-trillion-parameter model—every signal points to the same reality: demand for AI hardware hasn’t peaked yet.
But the dark line is hidden in the details: Claude goes down, Apple Intelligence data scraping is rejected by developers, and the father of Apple retail doesn’t think AI shopping is promising. As the compute-power story keeps rising, uncertainty at the application layer is accumulating in parallel. Institutions are buying ETFs, hackers are stealing money from AI projects, and the Fed is talking about rate hikes. Whether this tech bull run is real heat or fake fire, the answer may lie in the timing of the next time Claude crashes.
